Any organization that works with Keith will be in good hands. He is a consummate professional and an excellent consultant. He has a great personality and sense of humor, is extremely organized, detail-oriented, and responsive. He provided incredible guidance, direction, and all the tools needed to be successful with our multi-million dollar campaign. He was always two steps ahead of us with providing the “next steps”, agendas, meeting materials, and other items that we needed. While I could list many more attributes of Keith’s, I will just add that everyone who worked with Keith on our campaign respected and trusted him. We would hire Keith again in a heartbeat and would refer him to any and everyone.

Development Director, Pretty Lake Vacation Camp

Hopkins Fundraising Consulting helped us exceed our $8.5 million capital campaign goal in nine months. This was my second successful campaign experience with Keith. He is very easy to work with and is consistently sincere and transparent in his interactions with staff and volunteer leadership. Keith is an intelligent, well-organized and articulate professional who always does what he says he’ll do – his follow-up is impeccable. Keith is a skilled teacher who adapts well and makes both experienced and inexperienced staff and board/cabinet members comfortable with the campaign feasibility study and fundraising process. Whether still on contract or not, Keith stays with you until you achieve your fundraising goal. In addition to reaching fundraising goals, there is no doubt that Keith’s consulting efforts also help build capacity for your organization’s overall advancement function. I highly recommend Hopkins Fundraising Consulting.

Chief Advancement Officer, D.A. Blodgett-St. John's

The experience we had working with Keith on our “Dignity and Independence Through Work” campaign could not have been any better. He did an excellent job of leading us through the process of the campaign: educating our board and committee, providing support to our staff, and advising on best practices. We felt confident with Keith as our consultant that our campaign was being conducted professionally and was well received in the community. He was very easy and accommodating to work with, took time to get to know us, and truly understood the mission of our organization and the campaign.
